I find burpees an excellent exercise, but I would advise against them if you are overweight. I would advise you to adjust your diet first before doing burpees.You can find documentation on roidusport.fr

Globo wod: If a climbing rope isn't available sub 6 towel pullups per rope climb. No towel, or your gym won't allow you to hang one up? Sub one handed pullups, one hand gripping the bar and the other gripping the wrist of the hand pulling. Alternate hands every rep. Finally, if your gym has an endless rope machine that can be used at a high weight as a sub. Burpees as Rxed.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Gymnastics and... what do burpees fall under? Monostructural in this case? Pulling with an emphasis on strength, moving body through a big range of motion, changing orientation, scaling an obstacle are also themes.


SHORT MEDIUM LONG


LIGHT


MEDIUM x


HEAVY


TECHNIQUE SCALE

As is, scale the legless rope climb to feet-assisted, work on letting go of the rope on every change of support up the rope, half climbs are fine


CONSISTENCY SCALE

7 rounds of:

7 strict pull-ups

10 strict push-ups

10 box jumps (high box)


INTENSITY SCALE

As is, Ricky Rep the height on the climb, so go until you can't and call it good for the round


MY STUFF

Didn't get to this one today; I'll hit it tomorrow


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 7

Do you want to practice falling or not practice falling? There's your answer. Kicking the feet before the hands hit is practicing falling.

Commented on: The Burpee

I've got a question regarding the phase from the plank - lowering the chest to the ground - back to plank. I imagine doing the strict pushup with the spine neutral and not moving is the safest method, however I see ALOT of people coaching the method of doing the burpee as a kind of "wave" from plank to the floor back to plank. Is the "wave" more stressful for the lower back and should coaches teach the safer method? Any evidence or experience? Because alot of people can't to a regular pushup. And confronted with the "strict pushup" burpee, they simply can't do it.

I noticed the same thing, Bengi. I have been coaching and CrossFitting for 10yrs and am unfamiliar with a burpee requiring a rigid body (as in a push-up), and this includes the Open. My guess is that one can improvise the ground portion based on their fitness. I do see folks who are very fit utilize a push-up and seem to have extraordinary efficiency with it, but I, personally, can’t. I have always performed and coached the burpee as 1) get chest and thighs on the ground 2) get back up to your feet 3) get some daylight under your feet. Furthermore, I prefer touching my fingers to a target in the burpee to ensure a reach to the sky during the jump.

Either way, variety is the name of the game, and there’s room for lots of burpee variations. Sometimes we even do “sprawls”, where the body doesn’t go to the ground at all as a burpee variant.

As for avoiding flexion/extension through the burpee for safety, as a general rule, it’s horseshit. Spinal flexion and extension in this manner is fine for a healthy spine.

If you keep your butt and belly squeezed, you're actually practicing a good skill by bowing and flexing. On the other hand, if you want to work on the strength part of it you would want to practice the rigid body position. Check out a video called Skill Transfer of the Burpee - it's with Carl Paoli and it's in the Journal and probably on YouTube also.

I call that method of burpees “worming”. I don’t see a problem with it. Consider it a kipping burpee
